THE STATISTICS

THE LOWDOWN

Two seismic sluggers in the shape of Justin Willis and Chase Sherman arrive to New Jersey in search of a big knockout to put the heavyweight division on notice.

After Willis lost his first professional fight he has been on a tear, winning all six fights with four knockouts with the most recent coming in his last fight against Allen Crowder.

The more experienced Sherman has had five UFC fights but only managed to win two of them and is hoping to bounce back from his most recent fight which ended in a frantic knockout against Shamil Abdurakhimov.

THE PREDICTION

This fight is unlikely to go the distance with the unholy power these men possess in their hands. Although Willis is on a six-fight win streak, Sherman is his toughest test to date but it just takes one power strike for the fight to finish and both men are capable of it.

This could go either way but with the threat of the takedown, Willis has more tools at his disposal and will just have the edge going into this one.

Winner: Willis via KO/TKO
